# Whitelist or Blacklist an e-mail address
### Whitelist / Blacklist an e-mail address
Our system automatically whitelists e-mail addresses that you communicate with, for your entire domain. For example, within your domain hosted with us, you have two users: joe@domain.com and amy@domain.com. If joe e-mails mary@hotmail.com , mary@hotmail.com will become whitelisted for both joe and amy. If mary@hotmail.com decides to write to amy@domain.com or joe@domain.com, her e-mail will get through without being filtered. For more details on this, please see our page about [whitelist / blacklist on domain level](https://wikidev.emailarray.com/books/3-admin-panel-manage-users-domains-aliases-and-more/page/manage-whitelists-and-blacklists).
You can also manually add an e-mail address to the whitelist or blacklist, as described below. Notice that the best way to add whitelist records is using the Spam reports, as it automatically delivers the e-mail and adds sender to your whitelist. Our system uses the Sender instead of the From in the e-mail header, both for blacklist and whitelist, which is automatically done if you authorize e-mails through spam reports. If you enter an e-mail address manually to your black or whitelist and notice it doesn't work, check the e-mail header and look for the **X-EmailArray-EnvFrom:** field, which should be used. Yet another possibility is that the sender might change each time you receive a certain e-mail. In this case, you can use [Rules](https://wikidev.emailarray.com/books/2-user-panel-advanced-setup-for-your-mailbox/page/delivery-rules-manage-incoming-email) to delete undesired messages, based on part of the From header address or subject.
